We still need him in the roomGlazier went 1-2 at the NCAAs as a 5th year guy. He has no one to blame but himself.
Only if it’s Iowa
Never seen Willie drop numbers before
I swear, some of you are just blind to reality and deductive reasoning. Jesuroga was class of 2023 and didn’t really let anyone know for sure his plans until very late in that recruiting cycle.
At that time Iowa had Lee still going and Ayala waiting in the wings with all indications he was going to be the heir apparent at 125 for the time being. Still, Iowa went and grabbed Cruz, who was still about the best available in the transfer portal around that weight and they locked in arguably the best recruit at the weight from the class of 2025.
WTF more were they supposed to have done? More importantly, how? Mind you, by the time they truly knew what the situation was with Jesuroga, it’s not like Ayala didn’t go 125 the next season, nor were there a ton of great little guys sitting readily available from the 2024 class….
Difference was - McD wanted to stay at 125. He never really wavered from it. And Ramos was at 133Whenever someone says, so and so isnt going to be 125 again, I just laugh. We heard every year how Matt McD wasnt going to be 125, but yet somehow someway he made 125 EVERY year and wrestled there his entire career.
I've been critical of the Brands recent work, but I would cosign this. I don't think this particular issue was really foreseeable. Now the scrambling at the middle weights right now....
If this is true, Adam Fellers is going to have a cow. He’s been adamant about going hard building up the RTC rather than going for expensive rentals.

And Iowa should care why?If this is true, Adam Fellers is going to have a cow. He’s been adamant about going hard building up the RTC rather than going for expensive rentals.
It's weird, either Iowa is the only program out there using $$$ to land transfers, or there's some other reason these dweebs only mention dollar figures when reporting on Iowa.This is a case of @smalls103 trying to sabotage Iowa just like Mineo does when Iowa is close to getting a transfer. Another reason why any Iowa fan who gives him money is a moron.
No, just no.I swear, some of you are just blind to reality and deductive reasoning. Jesuroga was class of 2023 and didn’t really let anyone know for sure his plans until very late in that recruiting cycle.

Willie not even using Mineo to spill the beans anymore. Where are the bag numbers for Michigan, Oklahoma State and Penn State?

i won't post them. i'm only out to get iowa.Willie not even using Mineo to spill the beans anymore. Where are the bag numbers for Michigan, Oklahoma State and Penn State?

How come you haven’t posted numbers for Hamiti, Amine, Hendrickson, Cardenas, et al?RIGHT!
how does me posting the numbers hurt Iowa one iota?!
freakin morons.
Is Iowa interested in improving their RTC? I feel like $1 million could help the HWC a lot more than buying 2 semester rentals for the college team.RIGHT!

freakin morons.
I’m sure they are going out of the goodness of their hearts.How come you haven’t posted numbers for Hamiti, Amine, Hendrickson, Cardenas, et al?
I totally agree with you.Yup. Can't really fault Brands here. I thought ayala was a career 125. And Jesuroga a 133. He was cutting his brains out to make 120.
Exactly.How come you haven’t posted numbers for Hamiti, Amine, Hendrickson, Cardenas, et al?
What do you think current Iowa wrestlers think about one year transfers getting big bags?RIGHT!
how does me posting the numbers hurt Iowa one iota?!
freakin morons.
Yeah but they only do it on Iowa's portal activities, and it's not to make Iowa look good.Willie can keep dropping numbers, right or wrong this is what college athletics has become.
Let the kids know, thanks for the free advertising!
Have you ever worked in a business where employee compensation numbers are public information? Of course not genius.RIGHT!
how does me posting the numbers hurt Iowa one iota?!
freakin morons.
Says the guy saying there wasn't any realistic smoke in regards to Teemer or Buchanan. Your schtick gets old at times. Again, my key question was was who were they supposed to get, how and when? Please enlighten us, Oh Grand Master, on exactly who was available when they were actually certain Jesuroga was done and how exactly they were supposed to figure out a 125 need over 2 years later when Lee was there and Ayala was waiting to take over.What a ridiculous post. Jesuroga hung it up in November 2022. Iowa is the #1 lightweight room in the country with 1.5 years to remedy and the best they were able to do was Cruz. That would have always been a fail but in the age of NIL and the portal this is an epic one.
Accusing others of being blind and insulting their reasoning skills while making a post like that is pure comedy.
Have you posted numbers for ANY other teams? If so, who and when?RIGHT!

freakin morons.

I think he does a good job on various podcasts. Clearly an Iowa guy, but not afraid to give honest opinions.Oh no! Not Adam Fellers!!! Has anyone checked in with Brodie Ambrose and Jake Kerr???
(Not that there isn't sensibility to that opinion.)
That’s a great question. Something I’d like to know the answer to as well. Iowa has plenty of money if these rental offers are true. But I’m starting to wonder how many people want to go to Iowa.Is Iowa interested in improving their RTC? I feel like $1 million could help the HWC a lot more than buying 2 semester rentals for the college team.
Seems like a pretty simple yes/no type question.Have you posted numbers for ANY other teams? If so, who and when?
You have to admit, if the answer is no, it definitely begs the question...
Competitive team race with who?he’s right but i will say if you are going to throw a bag at parco then you might as well do it for teemer and buchanan too. i may not agree that it’s the best use of these funds but at least there will be a competitive team race now.
I have for more than 35 years. Trust me, it only helps who pays the most and those trying and able to increase theirs. Sucks to be the one who pays less and can't manage an increase. All you end up doing is training their future employees. Kind of like the current NIL system. If Iowa can be that big dog, posting the numbers, if in fact true, will not hurt them. How they manage the discontent of their other wrestlers is another story.Have you ever worked in a business where employee compensation numbers are public information? Of course not genius.
